Android : how to know if MediaPlayer is paused?

Question

MediaPlayer.isPlaying() does not allow to know if the MediaPlayer is stopped or paused. How to know if it is paused and not stopped?

Thanks !

Answer 1

One way to do this is to check if the media player it not playing (paused) and check if it is at a position other than the starting position (1).

MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();

Boolean isPaused = !mediaPlayer.isPlaying() && mediaPlayer.getCurrentPosition() > 1;

Answer 2

There is no API to check if MediaPlayer is paused or not. So please use any Boolean variable to check and toggle it when you paused using any button.

onClick(){
 if(isPaused)
  {
    //resume media player
    isPaused = false;
  }else{
   // pause it
     isPaused = true;
  }
}
